 shop focuses on the theory and practice of fieldwork in South Asia\, primar
 ily discussing religion and identity in South Asia. Dr. Delage has conducte
 d fieldwork at Sufi shrines in India and Pakistan\, and this workshop is an
  opportunity for graduate students to broaden their perspective on field me
 thods. Some of the questions Dr. Delage addresses through his fieldwork: Ho
 w do followers of saints and other kinds of devotees\, by participating in 
 mass religious gatherings\, understand and articulate their religious affil
 iations? Can we draw clear boundaries between Sufism and other local forms 
 of worship\, such as Hinduism? And how do these local religious practices r
 elate to broader configurations of Islam in a globalized world?</p><p><stro
